It’s Valentine’s Day and I Love Food (Blue Mountain Review)

A couple weekends ago, I packed up the Prius and headed to Blue Mountain for a winter adventure.

I have spent many wintery afternoon on the hills, but it was a treat to be able to stay at a lodge by the base of the hill. I stayed in a suite in Weider Lodge, which opens right up at the lift of a main ski lift. It doesn’t get more convenient than that! I also loved that I could park underground and take an elevator directly to my room.

The decor was perfect for the surroundings – it had a very rustic and historical feel to it with a fabulous view of the slopes from the windows.

I had every intention of trying out the little kitchen the first night, but I ended up running too long and my hunger had the best of me, so instead of venturing out to get supplies, I ate at the resort.

And yes, that is correct, the first thing I did upon arriving at the resort was search out the exercise room and get my training over with. I was planning on relaxing!

The exercise room was awesome and the tv was perfectly positioned. My workout lasted about 2 hours and they absolutely flew by! I am not a big tv watcher, so it was fun to have time to take it in.

I had a chance to venture around the village that evening; Blue Mountain is absolutely stunning at night!

Speaking of stunning, let’s talk food.

I had the opportunity to sample food from different locations around the resort. I was excited to try the Pottery Restaurant for breakfast. I am a sucker for breakfast buffets and I went nuts for this one.

I had bacon, eggs and peanut butter toast (favourite vacation breakfast!) but they had a huge variety of hot and cold breakfast items, including house made granola.

Another meal I was able to have was at Firehall Pizza. I ordered the BBQ Pizza and oh. my. gosh.

Mesquite BBQ sauce, cheese, chicken, red onion and cheddar cheese.

It was in such a cool location – a sports bar that is decorated as a fire house. The atmosphere was fun and the food was amazing. Like most, pizza places, if you are not a fan of pizza, there is plenty more on the menu.

My last meal at Blue Mountain could be my last meal ever and I would be happy. It also could be titled “This is why I run…”

I had dinner at Copper Blues and I probably had one of the best meals of my life.

Firstly, they brought freshly baked bread drizzled in balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil and I was all over that.

I had been snowboarding, skating and running hard all day so it was exactly what I was craving.

So..I ordered the surf and turf and it was a dream. I take my steak medium-rare and my lobster with butter.

Ridiculous meal and it disappeared in about 10 minutes.

Now, you may have a hard time believing this…but I always save room for dessert.
Even after eating a lobster and half a cow.
And when the waitress said they had chocolate creme brulee, I knew I was up for the challenge.
“Bring me the strongest coffee you can and let’s do this.” I said.

So they brewed a fresh pot and set this in front of me.

Ugh. So so SO good. You know when you finish a perfect meal and all you can do is smile? That was me after this meal. I highly recommend Copper Blues if you want to finish your day on the slopes with a bang.

So there you have it. I slept like a baby and ate like a queen.

Have you every eaten at the Pottery Restaurant, Copper Blues or the Fire Hall? What did you think?

Oooooh my goodness. This looks epic! Next time you go, I will happily be your date! I’ve never been to Blue before, but that gym looks absolutely beautiful, the food stunning (especially the surf n turf!) and the bed like one I’d love to collapse on right now! So happy you got to do this – what a great, totally well-deserved getaway!
